The Media Accountability Project  

The undersigned organizations representing Muslim, Palestinian, Jewish, and allied communities across Canada announce a collective boycott of all programming featuring Ben Mulroney. We are calling on our members, supporters, and community networks to cease viewership until Ben Mulroney is removed from his hosting position on The West Block following repeated, documented instances of racism, promotion of genocide denial, journalistic misconduct, and ethical violations that fundamentally compromise the integrity of Canadian public discourse.

La version française suit...

Mr. Mulroney’s overlapping roles — as a paid political event host, a donor and fundraiser for the Conservative Party, an ambassador for a registered lobby group, and an adviser to private companies — constitute clear violations of these standards. His actions create not only a real conflict of interest but also the perception of bias, both of which are grounds for CBSC complaints.

If Global proceeds with Mr. Mulroney as host of The West Block, it risks undermining public trust in Global News’ compliance with CBSC codes. Global News should expect formal complaints for breaching standards of fairness, accuracy, and independence if it does not course correct immediately.
